Here is Bella’s reaction to Quincy and Calley:

This is what she’s all poofed up about:

Taco and Sumari are in hiding, but Mango, the bravest of them all, calmly watches the wild antics of the doggies:

This is one of my favorite funny videos.  Whoever made this has a great sense of humor, wish I could figure out how it’s done.

Did you know that cats and dogs with black coats have a lower adoption rate at shelters and are euthanized more often than other pets?

In some shelters, up to 40% of the cats that are euthanized are black.

This phenomenon is so common in black dogs that it is now called Black Dog Syndrome (BDS). I don’t see that it matters what color an animal is, but some folks think that they just don’t stand out as much, so people really don’t notice them.  And also there are all kinds of weird superstitions about black cats.

Some animal rescue groups came up with the idea of promoting Black Friday adoptions, now there are hundreds of Black Friday Adopt-a-thons held from one end of the country to another.  I personally have no interest in the “Black Friday” shopping frenzy but anything that will help animals get adopted into good, loving homes has my support.  Whatever works.

This post brings up memories of my beautiful black Sunflower, a cat I got from the shelter years ago.  She spent 19 years with me, and I still  miss her.

This is Rescue, a Very Special Friend.  He protects his cat and human friends alike.  If he really thinks any of his family is in danger, he can look VERY vicious, and terrify everybody. When he’s happy, he smiles.

Rescue is much older now, and he can’t live with us because our landlord won’t allow dogs.
